Getting Started

Greetings,

For a number of years, I've carried on a lively correspondence with a number of people, the subject of which is generally political. I have some very strong emotions about the course our country is going, the state of the body politic, and societal~cultural issues that may, or may not, spell doom for our country and our way of life.

This blog, I hope, will be a better way to capture these messages and thoughts, than my previous emails. I hope in time it will become a place for others to share their thoughts, comment and debate.

I am sworn to defend our constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. I take that responsibility very seriously, as I have for most of my adult life. There are very real threats to our way of life, and not all of them have to do with the current legislative and/or executive branches; terrorists; or the real and perceived threats to our civil liberties. While I tend to be conservative, this is not a conservative blog... it is about identifying and discussing all sides of issues that threaten (real or perceived) our nation, constitution and way of life.

I welcome you into this blog, and hope you will enjoy the ride.

Sincerely,
